I favor the Dresden Files/Fright Night interpretation. They are powerful, intelligent, inhuman monsters, but have a limited shapeshifting ability to adopt a human voice and appearance. Some versions give them a fey uncanny beauty depending on how sexy the author wants the story to be, but they convincingly pass as human until they start tapping into their inhuman abilities.

I didn’t mean to imply that people become autistic, just that gamete or gestational dysfunction caused by toxic pollution could be to blame.

Is the OP’s claim actually supported by evidence? I thought the leading theory was environmental contamination caused autism, but it’s impossible to study because microplastics are everywhere.

I mean eventually it’ll become an extinction level event, at which point it doesn’t matter for humans.

Works fine on my Fedora install with the gui, haven’t tried just the batch tool.

Thanks for the thought-out reply! Beginnings are hard, and introducing characters too. Still, decent.

Oh yikes, good catch!

No love for parable of the sower/talents? Those predicted Trump in eerie detail all the way back in the 90s.

Strategy games are great for busy adults imo. I like either Civilization or Factorio because you can compete or collaborate as desired, and in as much or as little time as you want.

Smells awful sure, but the taste is great. Like a slightly mustardy jackfruit.

Spoiler: not literally

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

The point I was trying to convey is that the only democratic socialist countries that I’m aware of are rich off of either abundant natural resources or rent-seeking from more exploitative countries like the US. Is it a sustainable model for poor countries too? Historically they’ve fallen into autocracy. I want it to work everywhere because I believe in justice, but I can’t prove it with math or precedent.

That global democratic socialism can work. Currently the only states successful in implementing it are oil-rich nordic countries, and I want to believe it can work elsewhere but it’ll be hard to prove.

Yep! Just slice it thin so it cooks in the oven. I do about 2mm thick slices.

I recently discovered flammkuchen, which is a thin crust pizza with creme fraiche instead of red sauce, bacon, caramelized onions, and potato. I can’t get enough!

Her grip doesn’t look quite right, maybe the symbol was swapped for the US market.

I’m sure they were safe about it

Now this is an Aerith take I haven’t seen before!

Could someone explain?
